|
I was standin' at the station
|
Ten to midnight in the rain
|
I was mindin' my own bus'ness
|
Waiting for that midnight train
|
|
Nobody in sight, starin' at my shoes
|
I took out my paper to find me some good news
|
Mindin' my own bus'ness
|
When the ticket man calls my name
|
Yeah, yeah, babe
|
|
There ain't no midnight train
|
There ain't no midnight train
|
There ain't no midnight train
|
Comin' down the line
|
|
So I say, "If it ain't too much trouble
|
When's the local out of town?"
|
His reply: "Two a.m."
|
If I'm leavin' local-bound
|
|
I can catch it in forty minutes
|
If I want to grab the express
|
But the local trains are hard to come by
|
This time of night, more or less
|
Listen, said
|
|
There ain't no midnight train
|
There ain't no midnight train
|
There ain't no midnight train
|
Comin' down the line
|
|
So I stood for forty minutes
|
It was raining and it was cold
|
When the express rolled down the track
|
I did not care where it was gonna go
|
Yeah, yeah,
|
|
He said
|
There ain't no midnight train
|
There ain't no midnight train
|
There ain't no midnight train
|
Comin' down the line
|
